9) ENDUR - Endurance
Choose this programme if you feel like
you can contract your pelvic floor
muscles quite easily,
but can’t keep
them contracted for very long. ENDUR
programme will help to build up muscle
strength
and improve muscle
endurance.
The sensation is like a strong drawing
in of the muscles of the vagina, pulling
up of the pelvic floor. Your natural
reaction will be to pull in and up your
muscles,
thereby exercising and
strengthening them.
It is necessary that the pelvic floor
muscles contract. Increase the intensity
level as high as you can tolerate, then
reduce by 1 mA.
10) PAIN
– Pelvic pain
The PAIN programme helps treat pain
in the pelvic area. It is particularly useful
for treating vulvodynia, a condition that
can cause burning, stinging, irritation
and rawness in the female genital area.
The sensation in the pelvic floor is soft,
like a vibration. It is important to feel this
sensation throughout the programme;
you may need to increase the intensity
during the treatment session. However,
it is not necessary to contract the
muscles.
11) TIBN 1
– Transcutaneous tibial
nerve stimulation
External stimulation of the ankle with
self-adhesive electrode pads. It is
particularly effective for urge and faecal
incontinence. Uses 10Hz
See Section 10.3. for more information
about this programme.
12) TIBN 2 - Transcutaneous tibial
nerve stimulation
Same as 11, but at 20 Hz.
For the programmes that cause muscle
contractions, it is advisable not to
‘overdo’ it early on, as the resulting
aches may not be felt until the next day.
As long as you can feel the contraction,
it is working. You can build up slowly
over a number of days.
Most of the programmes cycle between
Work and Rest to allow your muscles
to recover in between contractions.
For best results in the programmes that
cause muscle contractions try to
contract the pelvic floor muscles along
with the
Sure PRO , and to sustain the
contraction into the rest interval. If
possible, link the contraction to your
breathing to get into a gentle rhythm.
When you change the strength setting,
this cycle stays on
Work until you stop
pressing the buttons Ch1
▲ or
Ch2
▲
for more than 5 seconds
Once the pelvic floor has been
strengthened using the
Sure PRO ,
continue to exercise the pelvic floor
muscles regularly.
The uses mentioned above for each
programme are indicative only, it is
possible to adapt the use according to
your needs.
Treatment Time and Treatment
Interval
Current clinical evidence indicates that
there should normally be no need to
exceed the default treatment time
settings in all but the
URGE , URGE 2
and PAIN programmes. These may be
used continuously if required.
